Size doesn't matter

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Friday March 25, 2005 20:51author by a postcard a day heaps the pressure. Report this post to the editors

"write a postcard".

The Progressive Democrats have been through it all, haven't they? the Ambition of the "mammy" then "granny" Harney's girth has long been measured, and recently swinging big Mickey Mc Dowell did a most uncharacteristic turn around.
Will the little party of unwarrented capitalism be stopped at the next election?

Do we smell blood?
yes - so let's finish them off.
Here's your psychological guide:-

Harney is facing problems with pensioners, being recognised as being rather cold-hearted and not doing enough. push her on the "mammy / granny" themes.

Mc Dowell has at long last shown a very old fashioned insecurity common to many men of professional political life. Send him postcards.

Parlon wants to fry your kids brains with telephone masts.

O Malley is attempting to continue a dynasty.

As some of us wrote to Bush, two generations a dynasty do not make.

Let us all be clear, the Progressive Democrats are not essential to the good governance of Ireland.
The constituency they represent is not vital to the search for dialogue and concensus between the ethnic, cultural, religious or political traditions of the Irish people on the island of Ireland.

Their main achievement (in their own eyes) has been the contribution of their narrow interest petty bourgoise nouveau riche class to what they called "the celtic tiger".

Yet they are unwilling to share the loot.

And throughout all these years, they have remained aloof from your criticism, playing FF in coalition and playing various interest groups of Irish society on prejudice.

the vice president of the irish Labour party, Dr Liz McManus this week reported that many TDs think to flirt with her, not unusual she's an attractive woman. I wonder how far can the envelope of the sexual innuendo Dail be pushed.

= push it.
Many of you have suffered psychologically over these last years for the unwarranted intrustion into your privacy in the name of the state, for simply upholding your constitution and claiming your democratic rights. Now it's time to turn it around.

"the vice president of the irish Labour party, Dr Liz McManus this week reported that many TDs think to flirt with her, not unusual she's an attractive woman."

compared with the underhand comment about Harney's girth - this posting is a disgrace, regardless of one's politcal viewpoint and it should be removed.

... the"little party of unwarrented capitalism", you call them.

If they had zero TDs elected in the next general election, how much would that advance opposition to capitalism in the country?


yours hypothetically...

& its bringing the whole Irish stock exchange with it.
This is because the company once vaunted as the an example of Irish innovation, progress, good business broke the rules of pharmacuetical lab practise and investigation.

Why?
Because if you break the rules you get richer quicker.

If you really want to get very very rich, network with other people who are good at breaking the rules, and naturally those who make the rules and enforce the rules.
Thus did a goodly share of Nigerian law enforcement officers and judiciary conspire to break, make and flaunt the rules.
Thus did a goodly share of Irish Biotech and "eggy" prospecters invest private and public money in the development of a high risk and unproven science.
Today Mc Dowell meets with Gardaí and private security companies to discuss a robbery. It will be a day. Can he blame the lardy boys?
Today Harney brushes off her plans to clean up hospital privatised resources and file sharing information. Who did it get sold to?
Today the Vatican have instructed their spokespeople globally to call for a moratorium on embrionic freezing and "eggy" research, whilst also telling us all the Pope who is being fed through a tube is in better shape than Schiavo.
The mammy Harney is not only a bad business woman, she's a bad product of a convent school education, light her a candle, her celtic tiger has lost 1,000,000,000€.

no chance of school dinners now.
